the registry is attempting to bring order to what is now a chaotic process within its supply channel by way of WLS. Speculative greed for its product has consumed its "licensed" supply channel to the detriment of the community. The registry will operate WLS for a year to see if it makes money...it has a right to model it in this fashion. ICANN stepped away because it does believe its role to be regulating new registry services. Get over it.
